August 31 and September 21 at 1:00 p.m.

Residents of the United States have a responsibility to make government function well; Lutherans see their responsibility in terms of a calling from God. We are called as faithful stewards of our own self-governance, to engage our democracy in a spirit of robust citizenship and not to abandon it. Lutherans consider government as a gift from God intended for the safety and flourishing of human life.”  Excerpt from “Discipleship in a Democracy” ELCA 2020
